    If it raised MPG 3-5 in Chevy Colorado and G30 van, why are automakers not implementing them to get 30+ MPG? They're certainly trying as hard as they can to increase fuel economy, don't see why one of these wouldn't be on every vehicle if they improved MPG consistently.

    It's funny how so many have bought this product but really pay no attention to how much they save from using it.
    I think it must work better for heavier fuels. But it works for LP gas too.

    Why would they buy it for any reason other than saving money?

    So are they using all that money from these sold units to pay off people for something that looks creditable?

    I think the main source to better fuel economy they are calculating is that this can restricts the amount of fuel going to the engine making the fuel pump work harder. It may revitalize old gas but i think its just a gas restricter causing better mpg.

    Revitalizing gas is good enough for me, using a unit on a gas vehicle shouldn't of been done. It works for storing gas for 6 months. I had arctic cat art 800 that had half a tank of gas and 2 FFC F5T in it. Usually you have to dump gas out if it sat for 6 months. My sled fired right up the next winter!

    Sta-Bil does that too. Ive let my boat sit for 11 months, and it fired right up, and that was with a 50:1 oil mix in it.

    I've heard from a mechanic that sta - bil separates and leaves red gunk in the carb.
    haven't seen it for my self yet.
    I heard startron is a good product.
